Vincentian Retreat

Saturday, March 16, 2013
   *Coffee and pastries 8:30-9:00am
   *Retreat 9:00-11:30am
   *Mass: 11:30am-12:30pm
Cincinnati District Council office, 1125 Bank Street, 45214

We are blessed to have Ralph Middlecamp, one of the Society's foremost Ozanam scholars, join us to lead the retreat, titled "Following Blessed Frederic Ozanam into the Vineyard." 

Frederic Ozanam provides a model of what it means to have a vocation as a layperson in the Church.  Many of his writings and actions would foreshadow the Encyclical of John Paul II in 1988 on the role of the laity entitled “The Lay Members of Christ’s Faithful People.”   In this 200th year of his birth we have an opportunity to understand more deeply not only his role in founding the Society of St. Vincent de Paul but also his prophetic vision for all of the Church.

All Vincentians, family, and friends are welcome to this morning of prayer and reflection.

Please RSVP by Friday, March 8th.  Contact Steve at scalme@svdpcincinnati.org or 513-562-8841 x767.
